I agree with this except that as the buyer, your relationship IS with TESLA and not some rando 3rd party. TESLA owes the redress. So you're right, easiest to simply get the compliance process going because they won't ignore that, but it absolutely IS Tesla's problem. Outsourcing isn't an excuse.

Update - local delivery possible in Northern VA or MD.

Not the dummies. Bought off eBay in late 2020 / early 2021, but never used. Still NIB. MZOrange, which have been proven in multiple videos on youtube, etc. $260 + s/h (whatever class of service/add-ons you want).

One is inherently more complex than the other, and yet they can figure out everything they need to in order to be VERY CERTAIN of causation - which could include a disconnected electrical connection (whether PWS or other part). Not that this level of effort would be used on a routine traffic...

LOL o…kay. Um…how about you go google NTSB accident investigations. It’s amazing what they can figure out even after planes crash into the ocean and very little remains. This is hardly a generic “I know best” BS, but please acknowledge your own inadequacy and BS. What’s fair is fair, call it on...

Ah. I see. Well, I’m glad I have a 2020 then, because this is a feature I would hate to have to pay for, it’s really not worth it to me but I can see how others value it. Hmmm…on the height issue, my family members are 5 ft and under, and even the shortest one has no trouble at all with the...

Considering they can reconstruct rocket, plane, and train accidents exceedingly well, yes this can be easily proven to an acceptable level of assurance for the average car accident. It’s SO FAR from 1984… diminished compensation is also already a concept for seatbelt use (or lack thereof)…see...

The power trunk does not close faster than you can slam it.

If it’s trivial they should have made it work first. Assuming the car sees everything at all times is stupid. How many of us have gotten those “camera not working” errors??

To each their own, but “not getting dirty” when touching a car is a real first world problem. I’ve never seen power lift / door be faster than manual for a common passenger vehicle. Safer? Yes, pretty impossible to pinch fingers. The only time it’s a real saver is power windows.

my Oct 2020 SR+ says CCS enabled

Not worth getting stuck with the car and two companies pointing fingers at each other but ymmv. Mine would not.

If you have video evidence and can clearly read the plate, then a) it’s a hit and run, and b) he should pay for it. Even if you don’t end up getting it fixed.

Because 99.9% of the time they are not (in general). Practically speaking, few HOA neighborhoods will want a bunch of trellises all over the place to run the cord over the sidewalks. Very few neighbors are going to want to share the cost to benefit just one or a small handful - especially in...

Glad to hear it. In all likelihood the HOA complainer has simply not run across (pardon the pun) your setup since… What are they all doing to charge?

I have the TeslaOffer DIY one and no issues, Oct 2020 delivery.

This should have no impact to FSD or cameras

THANK YOU!!! My daughter has a petite *for now*

Yes, but actions speak louder than words. Clearly more people enter into transactions for Camrys, so from an economics perspective...they're voting (literally) with their dollars.

Well, given the volumes they sell Camrys and Corollas at…vs BMW 3 series… you’re technically in the minority 😉

Wives as luxury property. I see we're back to feudal times...

That was Tesla’s choice, clearly, not NHTSA’s.

So this quote and discussion IS diverging from the OP/thread intent, but... Honestly, it's not frightening. It's a bit sad, but this shouldn't "scare" anyone. There are standards for EVERYTHING. This is normal. Some are more "enforced" than others. They're not there so a bunch of people can...

My rear end disagrees with you, I’m pretty sure the seats have been toasty when I get in…??

No one ever got elected for ONLY removing old laws people ignore or are obsolete… See this list for amusement… Dodson: Antiquated laws still on the books

I have found you can turn on the seats in the app and then turn OFF climate. The heating seats stays on.

Exactly. Not a NHTSA watcher here but I’d bet a tall coffee that the almost every member of the assessment team thought it was a good innovation, but this was not a refutable possibility so it carried the day. Tesla could probably have found a way to prevent it but decided it wasn’t worth the...

So I’m not NHTSA, I’m just saying the reports seem to suggest this line of logic and it does make sense to me. Yes it’s nit picky. Oh well. NHTSA’s recall safety report does not mention to overwhelming the car sounds in general, or via the stereo system, etc. I’ve read it, and it seems clear...

It’s both the same car and SAME speaker which in the case of an EV is substituting for the engine noise. I never mentioned wires, don’t misstate please. Long and short in 99.999% of cases of people playing music while driving their car, pedestrians and others hear the engine and/or feel the...

Yes, the PWS played both sounds at the same time through the same speaker. Concurrently. That is altering the sound emitted from that device. It’s picky, yes, but not related to the separate speaker system in a regular car. Those do not actually modify the noise of the ENGINE. If you’re going...

Being fully compliant but potentially negating the safety effect is understandably concerning. Yes, I agree it’s a bit inconsistent but most people do not use their car stereo systems so loudly that they negate their engine’s noise...and society generally accepts longstanding practices even if...

So complain to your bank… just because Plaid offers a sub-par solution for your bank because your bank is behind the times…is not a good reason to torch them. They don’t have your bank login if you never gave it to them in the first place. That’s even more secure :) …and, btw, ACH mistakes do...

Exactly. Setting up a bank account generally requires you pass the Know Your Customer (KYC) rules and I don't think any financial institution can setup an account that *might* have to report a 1099 to the gov't without getting your SSN. So... anyone's under any illusion that their bank isn't...

I tapped into my hot tub junction box, which was on the back of the garage, for my NEMA 14-50 outlet inside the garage. It worked great. Ditched the hot tub a few months later anyway, we never used it. I gladly volunteer to go run family errands ANYTIME in the Tesla now. :) wife says it was the...

Sadly, past experiences with HOAs led me to I expect nothing more. Most HOAs are supported by a remote management company that mostly collects and accounts for funds, etc…and the “board” is neighbors who are uncompensated and have limited time to deal with whatever comes up… so researching...

Battery about dead. Replace the device soon or get a ticket the next time you go thru a tollbooth…and heaven for it you go thru several, in different states too. Ask me how I know…

You can (and should) be ticketed for failing to stop. The fact that most of us adults use short cuts is not an excuse for them. We all (obviously) break the law with our rolling stops but that doesn’t make it okay. Nor does it mean that following the law puts the driver in front at fault. No...

Just a matter of time. You flip a coin often enough, you will come up tails.

Tell that to the family of the person who died because of a “trivial software update”... I do hope if you have a family they will find that excuse to be of little solace.

That’s just it, that attitude will undoubtedly result in a software decision that will actually kill someone. It’s a bad attitude to have when approaching many things with severe consequences. It’s one thing if the polytopia game has a bug. It’s another when someone dies. No one ever resurrected...

That’s an awesome story! I totally agree with you that acquiring fancy “tools” doesn’t mean they’ll be utilized effectively, only the person can do that…YMMV!!

Congrats, and thank you for serving (truly!!). This says more about you, though. There are plenty of people who do live above their means and end up without the story above to show for it. Clearly you were not one of those…but this path is not one that is reliably repeatable for most…whereas...

They’ve had tons. Recalls are not a new way for government to torture companies, but a longstanding way to force them to do right by you (the consumer) and other people on the road. “The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (originally enacted in 1966 and now recodified as 49 U.S.C...

Typical business practice. It’s the cycle. What was once viewed as an important enough social construct (the dealer model) to be protected by laws is now viewed as a dinosaur.

That symbiotic relationship is slowly dying. I have no doubt recalls generate other sales…parts, miscellaneous items, and yes even trade-ins and new cars…etc.

I would presume that if it is not functioning as intended due to SOFTWARE instructions (like turning on or off at the wrong time, etc) then it’s a software problem. If it is mechanically problematic (e.g., suspension bolts not secured properly) it’s hardware.

For the love of everything normal, call YOUR insurance. If you were not in motion and he hit you, it’s his fault. Their job is to make you whole. Their job is to take care of your issues. HIS insurance wants to pay out as little as possible to make this problem go away. They will be underhanded...

Uhhhh nooooo… A hardware issue is, plain and simple, something mechanically or physically defective / fails early / etc. Like, the brake cylinder fails due to salt corrosion. Maybe repeated opening and closing of the trunk can break the cable that transmits the camera's image to the center...

You’re right, never seen anyone driving slower than the speed limit in the fast lane. Nope. :)

Everyone's stressing over whether the car recognizes speed limits but I daresay most folks drive faster than the posted limits "once in awhile"...and others speeding down the road don't lead to this much angst. Societally, everyone's had more than $12k in education and yet apparently recognizing...
